To determine the daily contribution per foot of front shelf space for each golf ball type, divide the potential daily revenue by the length of shelf space.

For Spin: (240 x 0.9) / 15 = 14.40
For Distance: (180 x 0.8) / 6 = 24.00
For Control: (200 x 0.85) / 4 = 42.50
For Soft: (280 x 0.75) / 7 = 30.00

Therefore, the daily contribution per foot of front shelf space for Spin is $14.40. The best choice is to allocate the maximum shelf space of 7 feet to Control, which has the highest daily contribution per foot of front shelf space. Then allocate 3 feet to Spin and Soft, and 2 feet to Distance, which all meet the minimum requirement of 3 feet.
